[Elecraft] KX3 Remove plastic film on display?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The kit version only.  The film does not offer any significant protection
beyond avoiding fingerprints. And it doesn't even do that very well since it
doesn't always cover the full face of the display. 

 

It is not always easy to see and remove.

Does this apply to the kit version? I'd have thought it was in place to
protect the LCD in transit and during handling while assembling (until it's
installed and the bezel takes over that protective role). In the factory
built version it'd be very fiddly to remove it, but in the kit it's easy
enough to remove although due care should be taken and a note to that effect
in the assembly manual might be helpful.
